<p>As for garbage collection, the restriction seems to be less on garbage collection and more on background processes. Garbage collection (especially generation scavenging) is normally done as a foreground process. Allowing processes to run while background garbage collection is running is a much more sophisticated algorithm and one I may not implement.</p><p>If I'm mistaken about either of these points, I would appreciate being corrected. My reading of the license agreement is that neither of these is intrinsically a problem.</p>

Welcome to episode 147 of Independent Misinterpretations - a Smalltalk and dynamic language oriented podcast with James Robertson and David Buck.

This week Dave and James talk about how an overly burdensome set of development processes can take a moving project and grind it to a halt. Risk aversion, when taken too far, can simply halt all possible progress and create bigger problems.

Welcome to episode 146 of Independent Misinterpretations - a Smalltalk and dynamic language oriented podcast with James Robertson and David Buck.

This week Dave and James talk about the potential issues involved in giving end users too much power in an application. If you extend scripting support (or even full Smalltalk access) to them - but don't give them any other development tools, you haven't really done them any favors.

Welcome to episode 145 of Independent Misinterpretations - a Smalltalk and dynamic language oriented podcast with James Robertson and David Buck.

This week Dave and James talk about aspects of Smalltalk (differing a bit between implementations) can "break" the tools. For example - messages constructed via string concatenation and then turned into symbols are effectively invisible to the senders/implementors tools.
